He is violent but I fear Mivorce. Ava S. The children - would be better off without him. - Laura P. I have been married for eight years and have three children. I have . been very unhappy in this marriage because my husband has a violent temper. Several times he has struck me irj front of the children and oft en uses abusive language. - I would have left him long ago except for the fact that I am myself the product of a broken home. My parents were divorced when l was -eight years old and I know how much I missed my father in spite of his faults. As a result of my upbringing I shied away from marriage and didn't marry until I was 30. I am beginning to feel that 'I can't stand my husband's wild outbreaks any longer. I have begged him to control himself in front of the child ren, at least,' But he seems unable to control himself. The best that can be said for him is that he's a good provider ,,and underneath he sincerely -loves me and the children, r- ' K -Ave 8. I feel as strongly ijtbout divorce as my sister does. We both went through the same thing and I certainly .don't view divorce as some thing to be undertaken lightly. However, I have discussed this question with many peo ple who say that children suf fer more in a miserable un broken home than in a more placid broken one. I have thought about it a great deal and I feel my nieces and neph ew would be better off if they were not exposed to these ter rible tantrums. They fear their father and I don't think they can possibly love him. If he didn't see them every day perhaps he would behave better when he did see them.

Fourth grade students in Mrs. Lois Seitz' room have made individual Valentine boxes out of shoe boxes; they have also made some turtle Valentines with a head and a tail that move. The bulletin board in the lower hall was also done by the fourth grade. It is in a Valentine motif with pictures of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington in the foreground-Tom Humphries. Mrs. Florence Conners fifth grade has been busy mak ing yarn dolls. The ones the girls have made are more ladylike than those of the boy's because most of theirs resemble cannibals. They are studying about ma chines in science, and will make examples of wheels and axle machines in action. The bulletin board display in the cafeteria was prepared by Mrs. Conners' room. It is a picture of a huge beaver, made of brown flocking, plac ed on a diagram in the shape of the state of Oregon. The entire picture is bordered with green foil and makes an interesting display.

Rhonda Hess, a fifth grader in Miss Dena DeKorte's room, went to Portland to a three- counselors. all he'd have to continue pro viding for them anyway, so that doesn't have to be too much of a consideration. And as for his "underneath" love well, I happen to think that love without works is a very easy thing to come by. The Council: We feel that Ava is taking the question of divorce more lightly than she cares to admit. She must rec ognize that in most cases di vorce comes as a result of some more or less legitimate grievances. Even when a third party is involved, the mate seeking divorce can usually reel off a number of offenses committed by the partner. Behind the principles of marriage "for keeps" is the idea that there is no such thing as a perfect human be-j irig. There would be no per-1 manent marriages at all if marriages were dissolved be cause of the faults in each partner. On the other hand, if the marriage is thought of as permanent, each mature partner tends - to make the maximum effort to right his own faults and to be tolerant of those of his partner. Of course, there is a big step between a person with faults and the kind of person who makes life almost un endurable. Definitely, expos ure to a father's violence is doing no good to the child ren in this case. Yet Laura believes h e sincerely loves her and the children. She must have reason for this. At times he must show them the tenderness they would" miss if they didn't have them. Neither can we toss off "love without works" ' quite as easily as Ava does. If the love is sincere, the works are potentially there. This man will respond to an appeal to change for the sake of his family. He may need psychi atric help to do it. (Copyright 1959, General .

Dr. Suwa is the Chief vol canologist of the Japan Me teorological agency, Tokyo, and as such, is in charge of the volcanological observa tion all over Japan. He is also a member of the Committee for Geophysics, Science Council of Japan; a member of the Committee of the Volcanological society of Japan; and is on the Editorial Committee of the Tokyo Geo graphical society. ..- . . Monday afternoon, Dr. Suwa showed colored slides and motion pictures at the grammar school to the stu dent body and a number of interested townspeople.

"In a country in which 50 volcanoes have erupted, ten erupt ever year, and in whicf five are erupting at the pres ent time, the work of the vol canologist in predicting the time of eruptions is vital to the very continued existence of the country and its peo ple," Dr. Suwa said. This is done much as weather fore casting is done here. There are approximately 1300 volcanologists in Japan stationed throughout the is lands in various areas of vol canic activity. Their findings are telephoned in to a central observatory, which in turn broadcasts their predictions. As an example, Dr. Suwa pointed out that Asam-Ayama had begun erupting in Octo ber of 1958, and the volcanol ogists had predicted in July 1958 that it would begin at that time. The crater of this volcano is 1000 feet across and 700 feet deep at the pres ent time. Asam-Ayama, ninety five miles 'from Tokyo, is one of the most violent volcanoes in the world, and is the cradle of modern volcanology in Japan, and in all the world. Dr. Suwa, mentioning that we have three volcanoes in this area-Shasta, Lassen and Rainier - with typical Japa nese charm and enthusiasm, told his audience that "Mt. Shasta is the most beautiful mountain in this country." Dr. Suwa became interested in volcanoes, and decided at the age of 13 to study volcan ology. His home town, Suwa City, is located in the central part of the main island of Japan, and is named for his ancestral family. A graduate of Tokyo uni versity, he has a wife and two children in Tokyo. He has been in the United States for the past 11 months, studying at the University of Califor nia at Berkeley under aus pices of the Japanese govern LOOK WHAT GAS IS Dries your clothes faster fluffier, softer than sunshine!

Dr. Suwa was one of group of 40 students from the International house on the U.C. campus at Berkeley who were brought to this area by the combined Yreka and Montague Rotary clubs. This is the sixth of these visits here made possible by this or ganization. Only one event was held for the students as a group, so that most of their time could be spent informal ly in the homes of their week end hosts. The group, with their stu dent director, Mrs. E. C. Carl son, Director of Public Rela tions, International House, arrived by bus in Yreka Fri day afternoon and were met by their hosts. That evening a banquet, attended by some 225 guests, was given for them in the multi-purpose room at the Montague gram mar school. At the close of the dinner, the students, rep resenting 20 European and Asiatic countries, presented short skits typical of their particular country. On Sunday, the Paines and their son, Lornie, had as din ner guests besides Dr. Suwa Mr. and Mrs. Eb Marlow and daughter, Linda, of Yreka Farhad Jomehri and Alireza Ahsami, both of Tehran, Iran. Ahsami is majoring in me chanical engineering at U.C and last year was a guest- at the Marlows on a week end similar to that of Dr. Suwa's, He is a nephew of Jomehri, and as a result of that week end 15-year-old "Jo," as he is known to his classmates, is living with the Marlows while he is atendmg Yreka High school. The Paines said they 'were "completely enchanted" by the effortless politeness and graciousness of. their foreign guests, and the opinion was expressed by both hosts and guests that more visits of this sort would go far toward lay ing the foundation for greater understanding and mutual re spect among the peoples of the world.
